Assistant Professor of Fiction Writing (tenure-track)

The University of Notre Dame seeks a tenure-track fiction writer at the assistant professor level for a joint appointment in Notre Dame's new center for the comparative study of race that will be launched later this year and the long-established Creative Writing Program in the Department of English. We seek a writer with an M.F.A., Ph.D., or equivalent degree and teaching experience who has published at least one book with a nationally recognized press and who has expertise in Black (including African American, African, or African diasporic) fiction.

The course load (2:2 per year) will be divided between the Creative Writing Program and the new center. Please submit a CV and letter of interest describing your literary and teaching concerns, along with a statement describing how you envision contributing to a vibrant new center on race, to https://apply.interfolio.com/78949. The deadline has been extended to November 16, 2020.
